4th & 5th Grade Science Fair

Science and Engineering are essential skills for the growing minds. It builds a framework to enable reasoning, analytical and critical thinking during early stages of education. Science is more than a subject taught in the classroom; it is a search for answers to questions and solutions to problems. This is an opportunity for your child to explore a topic that is of interest to them. The Science Fair will be a fun and educational experience for your child.

Scientific Method Journal:

Please use this journal to help you with the scientific method. The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. Scientists use the scientific method to search for cause and effect relationships in nature. In other words, they design an experiment so that changes to one item cause something else to vary in a predictable way.
